So my Wife and I have been kicking around the idea of getting a travel trailer. I have already got some much great info regarding things like towing information and what to look for while shopping. I am pre-approved through my own bank and I think I’m ready to get it done. We are looking at a Freedom Express 292BHDS and were wondering if anyone had one and could give a little feedback. Pro’s Con’s?

I had a 2010 Freedom Express 242rbs for almost 2 years. I bought it new in 09 and it was a great trailer. It felt solid and didn't wear out any. It towed easily also. I traded it in for a Keystone Bullet Premier because I liked the floorplan. I find the Coachmen had fewer initial issues than the Keystone. On a side note...I like the Keystone, the dealer has fixed the few issues and has been terrific.

We have a 2010 280RLS, it is great.
Re. your F150, I'll be honest and say you are cutting it fine!

Thanks for all the great info yall, we are gonna continue to look another week or two (no reason to rush on a decision like this right)and hopefully I will be able to post some pictures. Any one have any recomendations of WDH?

We just purchased (today) a 292BHDS as well and am looking forward to picking it up the beginning of May. (it was a stock unit , I just didn't want to store it until then).

I'll be pulling it with a 2008 F150 5.4L XLT 4x4 with Tow Package. I talked to another 292BHDS owner who pulls with the same TV and he said his 2010 F150 FX4 pulls it no problem. He's using a Reese WD hitch with the Cam Sway Control and says at 80Km/hr (50MPH) he doesn't feel it but the max he'd go is 110 Km/hr (68MPH).

I'll be getting the Husky Centerline WD which I believe is similar to his Reese, so I feel pretty comfortable with this set up. The TT weight is 6120 lbs as shipped.

Anyone else have/had a similar set up and provide any feedback.

Thanks alot.

By the way this is a great forum and it really helped us with our purchase decision. Thanks for all the informative posts!!

Well, doing camp driveway this weekend. Working on getting all the supplies needed for the trailer and testing everything out before venturing all over the place. Kids are watching a movie in the bunk house and I am at the table on the computer. This is really nice. Plenty of storage. Today, I installed my second swaybar and adjusted some of the setup with the hitch. I had to lower the ball by 2 holes. The trailer was tilted up slightly when on the hitch. When I hook back up tomorrow I am going to measure to see what the perfect amount of links to have for the WD hitch. I could really feel the 40mph wind gusts when running 50 mph but was still well on the safe side in the Armada. Getting everything fined tuned with a second sway bar is going to make it even better.

Camp driveway was a success. I also had time to adjust my hitch setup to a more appropriate configuration and installed a second sway control bar. I moved the hitch ball down 2 holes which made the trailer perfectly level when hooked up to the Armada. I also went up another link on the wd hitch (now 6 links between the spring bar and the hitch.) No my auto level only comes on foe about 15 to 20 seconds. All in all, when I took it back to storage, this trailer felt solid behind the Armada. I am very pleased. Next weekend, going to a campground about 8 miles away for its real true test.
